Hey all,

I just found out that my gold fish laid eggs.. they are in a 20Gal tank atm for breeding. Do l have to take the parents out and put them bck i the pond or keep them in the breeding tank?

And what sould be my next step for the eggs?

As you can tell l have never done this before

you should take out the eggs and put them in a small tank with only about 6 inches of water in it(so the fry can swim to the surface easily). they hatch in about a week and you should feed them fry food.

thanks for that.

Some of the eggs have hatched and l have about 20 little ones swiming and laying on the glass. There is under 6in of water on the tank. Looks like l might be ok
